Hi guys,

I will come back and edit this initial post if it seems to be working and cut out all but the relevant text. My proposal for this thread is that we List short and concise descriptions along with links to sources for materials and tools and components. If members start adding posts like, yeah, this is a good idea and how about those Yankees, this thread will quickly become useless! If this works, perhaps it can become a stickie.

For instance,

All kinds or parts, components and widgets: McMaster-Carr

Electronic components and parts: digikey.com

Machine Tools and Supplies: Rutland Tool

I think you get the idea here. Let's keep this clean and limited to descriptions and links only; no discussions or comments..........

Please don't follow this post with, " Yeah, this is a great idea!" or " Nah, this will never fly!" If you have a post with a viable reference and link, feel free to add some initial comments but come back and edit them out whent this gets rolling. I will clean this post up as well if this thread looks like it works. I will add or keep the following statement:

NOTICE: This thread is solely for reference and should contain posts providing links to viable sources. Do not post here with comments or questions that will clutter this thread and become meaningless with time. Other posts can be used for reference to this thread and revisions, corrections and additions can be made by those who "own" an existing post or even a moderator if needed.
